Now, an Australian publication known as the Herald Sun reports (via Brian McIntyre of NorthwestFootball.net) that the Seahawks recently made a “secret approach” to Inglis, which he “rejected.”

Frankly, we’re starting to think that all this talk of NFL teams being interested in Inglis could be coming from Inglis or someone representing him, in the hopes of leveraging his rugby club into doing whatever Inglis and/or the persons representing him what the rugby club to currently do.

So we’re boycotting any further Greg Inglis stories, unless and until he comes to the U.S. to sign a contract, try out for a team, or eat at an Outback Steakhouse.

“Frankly, we’re starting to think that all this talk of NFL teams being interested in Inglis could be coming from Inglis or someone representing him, in the hopes of leveraging his rugby club into doing whatever Inglis and/or the persons representing him what the rugby club to currently do.”
In which (if any) parallel universe does this long sentence make any grammatical sense whatsoever?

Hi,
I’m from Australia and study media at a university in Inglis’s city, Melbourne.
Firstly, the Herald Sun is a joke of a newspaper. If you don’t believe me, compare their homepage to that of an actual newspaper (http://www.heraldsun.com.au/).
People here call it “The Footy Sun” because most of their revenue stream comes from stories about football/rugby, and most of their stories are baseless gossip. I think it’s similar to the New York Post in that regard.
My point is, you honestly can’t believe a word of what is reported in this newspaper as it’s not a trusted source of information.
Inglis’s club, the Melbourne Storm, were recently discovered to have dodged the salary cap big time in the National Rugby League. His contract is being renegotiated because the previous contract involved giving him giant wads of cash in brown paper bags.
That’s why Florio’s theory of this being a bunch of bullshit concocted by Inglis’s agent to gain leverage makes sense – everybody at that club is in contract negotiation mode.
Also, Inglis got arrested a few months back for punching his girlfriend in the face. If you’re going to talk about an Australian football star coming to the US, talk about someone that deserves it like Israel Folau.
Cheers,
Zuka

I’m calling bullshit on this, you speculate on every stupid thing. If Steve Smith farts you’re the type of person that would speculate what he had for lunch.

Sounds like a bidding war may erupt then.
The Steelers will definitely be getting involved.

I’m Australian, Zuka is right, this story is garbage.
@ The_Emporer: Why care about Florio’s quips? PFT is a news aggregation website, they collect the news in one place so we don’t have to search. You think anyone comes here for Florio’s ideas, jokes, or football insight?

Aren’t 90% of the pro sports stories reported on basically the same thing? Agents floating rumors to the media to get more money or a better situation for their clients? Why is this one any different?

You schmucks come here every day. You read his articles, then post, not about the article, but your hatred for the monitor. Its the same morons, every day, just waking up from working that 3rd shift at 7eleven. Maybe you got tired yesterday of asking people if they would “like that supersized”, eh ?
…..and then you come back here again, and again, and again…….
and every time you hit that link, the man gets paid…..
Good for you Florio. You play to your crowd.
idiots…….
